ISBN: 9780970319791 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) I've always loved the history and tradition of baseball having grown up watching my two favorite players of all time, Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays in their prime. The evolution of the game has certainly been interesting, controversial and exhilarating, but down through the years the game as stayed remarkably the same, throw the ball, catch the ball, hit the ball. Given baseball's extraordinary history which goes hand in hand with American history I undertook a story line based on old time baseball, starting in 1915, which transitions into the modern era centered around one family's love of...

The Peerless Four

Lungs burning like they're drenched in battery acid. Peripheral vision blurred by the same adrenaline that drowns out the cheers coming from the full stadium. And of course, the reporters. The men scribbling furiously on their notepads so they can publish every stumble, sprain, and sniffle in these historic games. This was the world of the female athletes in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, the first games in which women were allowed to compete in track and field (and on a trial basis, at that). Nicknamed "the Peerless Four," the...

The Cheat
ISBN: 9781938545252 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) While a star sports writer in the 1980s, Pat Jordan wrote a novel called THE CHEAT. It is a baseball story, but not the baseball story the world was ready to embrace from the author of A FALSE SPRING. It is a wrenching tale of a passion-filled, yet empty man who simultaneously seeks the truth about himself while running away from it. THE CHEAT is a brilliant and under-appreciated work.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) They began as individuals who valued material possessions and popularity among life's most important goals.

Hard work was no longer shrugged off as something for the less accomplished and privileged. The games changed them, made them into something more than they were. They had more purpose because of the games.
